Hello friends, just thought I’d let you all know that our rough plumbing inspection passed today. Now we are scheduled for a slab prep / stem wall inspection. When those inspections pass tomorrow we will be on schedule for Monday’s slab pour. This is getting exciting now!
Ok I visited the site today at about 12:30 and discovered a few things. First, the water lines were installed and ready for inspection. Whew! Secondly, the stem wall is damaged at the rear corner of the house. It appears to be damage from the tractor bringing in the fill dirt yesterday. I will have to call my block crew to get them to repair the corner, prior to pouring the slab next week. Check out the pictures of the water lines. Cool stuff.
The plumbing water line illustrates 100 p.s.i. holding in the lines for inspection. This is to prove that there are no leaks in the system prior to pouring the slab.
Hello friends. I thought I’d give a quick update on the status of the house. I called in the rough plumbing inspection today. It is on schedule for tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. It appears that every thing is installed correctly and that the plumbing system is perfect. Keep your fingers crossed 
Today the rough plumbing sanitary lines were installed into the slab. The photos illustrate the PVC pipes that will carry the waste water from the home into the septic system. The vents sticking up in the air are for the lavatories and water closets (toilets) to vent exhaust gas through the roof. These vents are called VTR’s or vents thru-roof. I will add photos (when the time comes) of the roof illustrating the VTR.

Hello everybody. I decided to put together a blog documenting the trials and tribulations of building my first home. Use this blog to get a home owners take on the residential construction process and what it really takes to get a home constructed. I will include photos and details of every stage in the construction process. I hope this blog will be of good use to you.
